I wrote this before you sent the diagram. See if it works. If not will study your model and have a think!
Test = //Household Codes for clients with active non cash benefits. VAR NonCasha = CALCULATETABLE( VALUES( 'rpt vw_Client_Households'[Household_Code] ), 'rpt vw_Client_Non_Cash_Benefits'[Client_Active] = 1 ) //Household Codes for clients on Low Income Heating Entery Assistance. VAR LIHEAPa = CALCULATETABLE( VALUES( 'rpt vw_Client_Households'[Household_Code] ), 'rpt vw_Client_Programs'[Program] = "Low Income Heating Energy Assistance" ) //Get household codes for clients who either have active non cash benefits or are // in low income energy program. VAR Combined_NonCash_LIHEAP = UNION(NonCasha,LIHEAPa) VAR Unique_NCandLIHEAP = DISTINCT(Combined_NonCash_LIHEAP) // Get household codes from employment table that were found above and are active and who do // have another income source and whose income type is // wages or self-employment. // Use TREATAS to switch the above list from 'rpt vw_Client_Households'[Household_Code] to // 'rpt vw_Client_Household_Employment'[Household_Code] VAR Employ = CALCULATETABLE( VALUES ( 'rpt vw_Client_Household_Employment'[Household_Code] ), 'rpt vw_Client_Household_Employment'[Client_Active] = 1, NOT ( ISBLANK ( 'rpt vw_Client_Household_Employment'[HH_Other_Income_Source] ) ), 'rpt vw_Client_Household_Employment'[Income_Type] IN { "Wages", "Self-employment" } TREATEAS ( Unique_NCandLIHEAP, 'rpt vw_Client_Household_Employment'[Household_Code] ) ) RETURN COUNTROWS ( Employ )

Glad it's got you nearer! If you get stuck again let me know; always happy to jump on a call or something.
Looking at your model you're probably making life difficult for yourself as it's still very much in the form of a relational database. Using power query or sql to shape it into a star schema is likely to make your dax much easier. (Have a look at SQL BI Introduction to data modelling for Power BI)
